COOKING-strovn.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 896, dated August 29, 1838.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we,'S1MEoN I-IEYwooD and LEONARD P. FISHER, both of Claremont, l

in the county of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking-Stoves, called Heywood and Fishers Improved Premium Cooking-Stove, of which the following is a full and exact description.

A plate marked G Figure 1, in the drawing, is made about two feet by three and a half` more or less, according to the size of the stove', in which plate a hearth N, is sunk four or five inches deep, one foot wide and twenty one inches long; near midway of which a partition marked Q, is placed rising nearly to touch the lower edge of the front doors. Near the front end of the sunk hearth there is an oblong square hole It in the bottom of said hearth, under which is a grate marked M, which rests uponledgesy or cleats, and can be shoved ordrawn at under the grate, a small box b Fig.` 16 to receive the surplus ashes. corner of the box M is a small niche n through which the air is to pass 4to give draft to the grate and stove, the draft may be entirely cut olf by shoving the box M, farther under, and shoving the sliding hearth marked H Figs. 2 and 21. There is let into the plate Gr, Fig. 1, over the front part of the sunk hearth, a slide-hearth H fitted to rest on slides or on ledges marked V Fig. 1. Said slide hearth H has a hole a Fig. 21 in the center to receive cooking furniture,

and is covered with a griddle marked D',

when not in use.

The Hoor plate G Fig. 1, is supported on legs Z Fig. 2 of suitable height for convenience.

The front division of the stove, and in which the fuel is placed, consists of three doors 0 one at the right and two in front two half moons F Fig. 3, a double half circle L, or two covers or griddles marked D Fig. 2 a continuous projection of the top plate S, the front end of the floor plate G, and the two side plates R seen in Figs. 2, 5, and 14. The double half circle E may be removed, when it will be seen by Fig. 3, that the two half moons` will complete one large circle or said E may remain and the two half moons may be Vremoved which will leave two small holes to receive cooking furniture.

At the upper The interior part of said stove consists,

lirst of an oven C the top pla-te of which` -1 may be see-n at c Fig. l and is in the form of an oblong square box arching at top, and rounded at the ends, running quiteacrossthe back end of the stove, and resting on the side plates R on Iledges T, seen at Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, and l1. The ends are closed `by a door Q at each end.; there is a-partition plate B, Figs. Il, 6, 7, 8` 11,itted to the side plates Itv and running across the stove, about one and a half inches in front of the oven. The' top of said plate is turned over so as to rest on the topi of said oven, leaving'V arspace `s between that and the top plate S` of about one and ahalf inches, a row of holes is made in this plate as seen at X F igffi. Directly back side of this plate,there`is a slide valve, with correspondingholes or notches marked A and W. A rod passes from each end of this valve through the `side plates, l by which means the valve may be shoved or drawn to open or close the holes at pleasure.l

A horizontal slide I with two Wings i t' Figs.

1, 6, 7, 8, 11; 18, 19 and 20 passes through` the lower edge of the back plate K land` J Figs. 6i 7, 8,- 9, 10, 11, to fill the space between top plate of the stove and the top plate of the oven having two wings J to lill the vacancy between theback plate K, and the back plate of the oven, and the end of each wing matches, with the wings of the horizontal slide I, and with the valves L completely closes the communication over the top of the oven, with the pipe P, and makes the fire pass, as seen at Figs. 8, and 11. The valve L is hung upon a point on the top of plate J', next to the back plateK having a handle e passing up through the top plate S by which to open and shut the turn about one and a half inches high,V

thence level to the plate K. In the center of the back edge is an oval hole P to receive sor the stove funnel, near each end is a hole 'ing furniture.

covered With griddles D, to receive the cook- The parts are so adjusted that an open space is left quite around the oven, except Where it is out off by the top up to the funnel as seen at Figli, by which means the oven is made to heat evenly and gradually. If it is desired to heat the oven hotter and faster draw vthe front valve A and the lire Will pass directly down under the oven and up the back side to the pipe 'as seen at Fig. 8. Open the valve L and the fire Will pass directly off Vasfseen at Figs. 6 and 7, for Vfurther illustration of the several parts, their combination and operation reference may be had to the annexed dravving of the stove, makingr part of this specication. Y Y

The invention claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent consists in- The particular manner in which the fines Vare arranged and combined at the back of the oven as before described.

In testimony whereof We the said SIMEON HEYWooD and LEONARD P. FISHER, hereto subscribe our respective names in the presence of the Witnesses Whose names are hereunto vsubscribed on this fourteenth day of March `A. D. one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight.
